The Official #13 Tennessee @ #14 Missouri Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, CBS

[OptimisticFan]

It’s time to pull out the Catholic playbook and start hailing Mary!

 

[VolMarine1371]

If we don’t get a touchdown this series, it’s pretty much a wrap.

I love this team more than anyone. But this has been over since the 1st half when we gave up 300yds and Wright fumble that led to Mizzou FG instead of us a TD.

 

[RAVOL]

There’s on my been one live ball flag against the opponent and that was in the first quarter of the FLA game….. 3 quarters there… 4 aTm….4 Bama….4 KY….3 MO… that’s a statistical impossibility

It is because they call us each game for same holding their doing.

 

[whodeycin85]

7 points. Offense sucks equally as bad.

Our online isnt getting the push it normally does...and the play calling is not adjusting...Joe is playing well for what he is being given

 

[AllVol68]

Dee looked like he was playing tag.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Regardless what has happened, this game is still absolutely winnable

And yet I have no confidence that will happen.

 

[DaddyChad]

Let’s run it up the middle 3 times with small and punt

 

[lilesrt]

7 points won’t win any game. Where the hell is the offense?

Precisely. 22 pts against this offense, on the road, isn’t bad. The offense is anemic to say the least.

 

[BruiserVol]

I’m not convinced something we don’t know about isn’t going on this year. How do you play this sport and just not give a sh**. Our players have looked just uninspired all year. Pre game, during the game, doesn’t matter. Just always looks like we are there just to go through the motions.

 

[utchatt]

We're almost into the 4th quarter and again, has there been any live ball penalties on Mizzou?

I definitely think there were some missed calls and no calls, however I don’t think the league or refs are out to get us.

 

[Other_Guy]

I do not disagree with you at all but what we've seen this year IS NOT what we saw in CJH's first two years. The offense is not as dynamic as in the past and IMO that is because our QB is not at the level required to run CJH's wide open offense.

So you just need a Hendon Hooker every year or it's 8-4 at best? That's great to know.

 

[posivol]

come on guys

 

[Lekvolrrah]

7 points won’t win any game. Where the hell is the offense?

The OC is not good

 

[CoachClick]

There has to be public pressure to get Banks out.

Unfortunately that won't hapoen so we are fd

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

I would trade our OC for Mizzous straight up!

 

[charleyhorse]

Has there been a single holding call on Missouri? I know several critical calls against the Vols.

We specialize in holds. Referees or we don’t coach hold to not get caught. Your call.

 

[Score50]

I thought Heupel was an offensive genius.

Just at home

 

[VolMarine1371]

I thought Heupel was an offensive genius.

Would you be a genius if your 2 top WR was out? Or Milton was your QB?

 

[Stevo1]

Players make (or break plays)...i get it...but scheme also plays a big part of the game, and we get out-schemed way more often than we should. Heup might be a great Head Coach, but he better find him some decent Coordinators.

 

[DeltaVol05]

Let’s run it up the middle 3 times with small and punt

Say less.

 

[TheVolsFrog]

I also don't get why Sampson hasn't been featured more.
It's clear Wright doesn't have it today

 

[FollowTheLeader]

This defense has cost us. Just the routine ability to finish plays. Once Missouri saw they could leak Schrader out into the flats and no one would be within 15 yards then we were toast. Herring was bad in the open field and he's ran to the wrong hole in the box. I hate to get on one guy but the RB has beat us and had his best game of the season.

And do you think not being able to score more than 7 points is gonna cost us?

 

[OrangeSquid]

Did Banks and the defensive staff take the week off.

If they didn't maybe it would help if they did. If defense is playing as coached, we're in trouble. If the players really suck that bad, we're in trouble. It appears to be some of both unfortunately.

 

[tnvols72]

Banks should be embarrassed

But he is not, he thinks he is good

 

[Arrested Devolopment]

Dee Williams run:
